At the doorstep of coach Ricardo Gareca announcing the list of called-up players who will face the triple matchday in October for the Qatar 2022 qualifiers, David Dioses, who was one of 'Tigre's' surprises a year ago, confessed an anecdotal fact after no longer being part of the Peruvian National Team's chat.
"I changed my number and I'm no longer in the team's chat. I gave them my new number, but I haven't had any communication," said David Dioses in a recent interview on RPP Noticias.
According to David Dioses, the Peruvian National Team has its own chat that includes established players and new additions who are called up by Ricardo Gareca. However, by chance, he lost contact with them.
In addition, David Dioses talked about how he felt when he didn't make the final list for the start of the qualifiers: "I was sad, but I motivated myself and I want to finish the year in the best way."
David Dioses on his present with Mannucci
This Wednesday, Mannucci had to wake up in order not to leave the Libertadores spots. And they did so by thrashing Sporting Cristal. Among the best-performing players on the 'Carlista' team, David Dioses stood out and scored the first goal of the match.
After the match, he said: "The victory against Sporting Cristal was also like a redemption for us because they took away our dream of being champions of the Bicentenario Cup. Now we have to keep working."
He then concluded: "I believe there is still a long way to go before Phase 2 is over. The table is tight, and if one team falls, the other is above. I think we have to take advantage in the following matchdays."
